Tex ↔ Ne Conversion
Convert a yarn count from the Tex (direct) system to Ne (English count, indirect), Ne = 590.5/Tex. In the Ne system, unlike Tex, the higher the number the <em>finer</em> the yarn — so they are inversely proportional. Ne is traditional in cotton spinning. The conversion is essential to compare yarns specified in different systems. Enter the count in Tex.

Conversão Tex ↔ Ne
Os sistemas de título de fio se dividem em dois tipos, e confundi-los inverte tudo. Os diretos (Tex, denier) medem massa por comprimento fixo: número maior, fio mais grosso. Os indiretos, como o Número Inglês (Ne) tradicional do algodão, medem comprimento por massa fixa: número maior, fio mais fino. Por serem inversos, a conversão é Ne = 590,5/Tex (a constante 590,5 vem das unidades do Ne — madeixas de 840 jardas por libra). Um fio Ne 30 (típico de camiseta) equivale a ~20 Tex. Saber converter é indispensável quando fornecedores especificam o mesmo fio em sistemas diferentes. Informe o título em Tex.

Yarn Count (Tex)
Compute a yarn's count in the Tex system, Tex = (mass in grams / length in meters) · 1000, i.e. the mass in grams of 1000 meters of the yarn. It is a 'direct' system (the higher the number, the thicker the yarn), standardized internationally. Tex links mass to length — the fundamental quantity defining yarn fineness and influencing strength, hand and fabric weight. Enter the mass and length of the yarn sample.
Yarn Twist (TPM)
Compute a yarn's twist in turns per meter (TPM) by dividing the number of turns by the length. Twist is what holds the fibers together and gives the yarn strength: too little produces a weak, fuzzy yarn; too much, a hard yarn prone to kinking. The direction (S or Z) and twist level define the yarn's character — knitting yarns are low-twist, crepe yarns high. Enter the number of turns and the length.
Fabric Shrinkage
Compute a fabric's shrinkage after washing, S = (initial measure − final measure)/initial measure · 100%, the percentage reduction in length or width. Almost every fabric shrinks in the first wash (cotton can exceed 5%), so the pattern must compensate for that percentage and the fabric is usually pre-shrunk (sanforized). Ignoring it makes the garment come out smaller than the nominal size. Enter the measures before and after washing.
